I always feel that the red cane is sweeter than the green/yellow cane. Anyway, at my age, I can “chew” sugar cane anymore. I like it fresh-squeezed instead.
By the way, the herb garden at U of Rhone Island has several herbs, tropical plants including a clump of sugar cane growing in their outdoor display. Not sure if they needed to dig them up and move them inside yearly or just mulched it.
I was very impressed when I saw them considering how far north they were grown. It’s in Kingston, RI.
